SKAction.removeFromParent do not remove a sprite with SKAction.repeatActionForever

The The method .removeFromParent() does not remove the sprite. What's wrong?

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
    guard touches.first != nil else  {
        return
    }

    let myShot = SKSpriteNode()
    let myShotAnimation = SKAction.repeatActionForever(SKAction.animateWithTextures(myShotTexture, timePerFrame: 0.01))
    myShot.size = CGSizeMake(200, 200)
    myShot.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
    myShot.zPosition = 0
    sprite!.addChild(myShot)
    let myShotAction = SKAction.group([SKAction.scaleBy(0.1, duration: 0.5), myShotAnimation])
    let actionRemove = SKAction.removeFromParent()
    myShot.runAction (SKAction.sequence([myShotAction, actionRemove]))

}

The sprite "myShot" with animation does not disappear

Madhouse. I replaced the action

 SKAction.repeatActionForever

per action

SKAction.repeatAction

and everything worked.

Simply because actionRemove will never be called.

When you launch:

myShot.runAction (SKAction.sequence([myShotAction, actionRemove]))

sequentially running the myShotAction SKAction and , when it's finished, the actionRemove. But if the first SKAction is an action thats never ends (SKAction.repeatActionForever), the actionRemove will never called.
